The Juicy, Messy, Plump History of Plastic Surgery in Hollywood

Think about your favorite famous person—before they became
famous, glimpsed in grainy high school yearbook photos or early
red carpet pictures. Compare that sacred image of their
pre-fame face to their current iteration: well-rested, shiny,
taut, healthy. What’s their secret? Plastic surgery, baby.

On this week’s episode of DirtCast, Madeleine Davies
and I sat down with Splinter News’s Editor-in-Chief and former
Jezebel deputy editor Dodai Stewart for a light jaunt through the
juicy, messy history of celebrities and plastic surgery.

“Usually when someone you haven’t seen in a while looks
amazing, it’s because they’ve had a little something fixed,”
Stewart wisely explained. We discuss everything from Jennifer
Grey’s nose jobs and how they negatively affected her career to
trends in breast implants, including a fun little detour into a
theory about the nose jobs of various Mickey Mouse Club alums
like Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling and Britney Spears.
Basically, if you don’t think your favorite star has had any
work done, think again.
